The Tai Chi classes will deep dive into the "internal' aspects of movements which are the underlying mechanisms found in Qigong, Tai Chi and other internal martial/health arts.
The three most important foundational movements within the system (Kua Squat, Weight Shift and Body Turn, often called the "3 Keys" will be the focus of January's lesson and on following sessions, we will start learning the "Mini Form", the sequence of movements that make up the beginning a much larger sequence. The Mini Form on it's own takes just over a minute to practice on it's own, but contains enough information to help people's health and give them lots to practice.
Over the course of the next few years, if interest in the Tai Chi (Yang Style) continues, we will continue to teach people the rest of the Medium Form and delve deep into all it has to offer.
Beginners to advanced practitioners are welcome to the classes. They are small, friendly, respectful and taught at a slow pace so that everyone has time for solo practice, partner drills, questions and even some tea.
